History of Holgate Windmill

Discover over 700 years of history and how the Holgate Windmill Preservation Society was formed to restore York’s only surviving windmill to working condition. Acomb Explore, 5 September 6pm – 7pm.

This illustrated talk centres around Holgate Windmill itself, its history, the technology involved in milling and its subsequent restoration.

Richard Green and Helen Hoult have been involved in the restoration project since the beginning and will use their substantial knowledge of the windmill to explore the windmill’s past with some humour and surprises along the way.

Tickets cost £4, and are available through the Inspire website.
